LM2736 Thin SOT23 750m A Load Step-Down DC-DC Regulator October 2004 LM2736 Thin SOT23 750m A Load Step-Down DC-DC Regulator General Description The LM2736 regulator is a monolithic, high frequency, PWM step-down DC/DC converter in a 6-pin Thin SOT23 package. It provides all the active functions to provide local DC/DC conversion with fast transient response and accurate regulation in the smallest possible PCB area. With a minimum of external ponents and online design support through WEBENCH™, the LM2736 is easy to use. The ability to drive 750m A loads with an internal 350mΩ NMOS switch using state-of-the-art 0.5µm Bi CMOS technology results in the best power density available. The world class control circuitry allows for on-times as low as 13ns, thus supporting exceptionally high frequency conversion over the entire 3V to 18V input operating range down to the minimum output voltage of 1.25V. Switching frequency is internally set to 550k Hz (LM2736Y) or 1.6MHz (LM2736X), allowing the use of extremely small surface mount inductors and chip capacitors. Even though the operating frequencies are very high, efficiencies up to 90% are easy to achieve. External shutdown is included, featuring an ultra-low stand-by current of 30n A. The LM2736 utilizes current-mode control and internal pensation to provide highperformance regulation over a wide range of operating conditions. Additional Features include internal soft-start circuitry to reduce inrush current, pulse-by-pulse current limit, thermal shutdown, and output over-voltage protection.
